Vital Preview – Partick v Hearts

Hearts’ Scottish Premiership season continues against Partick at the Firhill Stadium on Saturday; with this a traditional 3pm kick-off.

A midweek exit was suffered by Hearts in the League Cup when Celtic advanced to the Semi Finals, however in the Premiership Hearts are chasing a third successive win having moved up to third and consolidated that place with second placed Aberdeen in sight.

Partick will be missing ‘keeper Tomas Cerny (ankle) after injury against Hamilton last week but Abdul Osman (suspension) is back, however Christie Elliott (back) is out long-term.

Robbie Nielson, who has played down links to the vacancy at Premier League club Aston Villa, will have Juwon Oshaniwa (hamstring) back after he missed the last two-matches.

Blazej Augustyn (suspension) played in the League Cup but his Premiership suspension kicks in so he sits out along with Alim Ozturk (hernia).

Soufian El Hassnaoui (fitness) is still short so can’t return yet from a long-term knee injury.

The Jambos will hope for a positive result, but will this happen?
